This week, the Purple Line Transit Partners (PLTP) began making a series of preconstruction, subsurface,
geotechnical borings on behalf of the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) in
preparation for the design and construction of the Purple Line.
The work on Wisconsin Avenue will
take place Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the public
right-of-way and take about two to three weeks to complete. Intermittent lane
closures will be required; motorists are advised to look for signs directing
them through the work zone. Sidewalk access will be available at all times.
PLTP is conducting geological
studies to explore soil, rock and groundwater conditions along the Purple Line corridor
to better understand underground conditions.
